Remembering that time when I blogged about being told to pee in a bag at regiment at night and it got picked up by anti-conscription British MP Andrew Mackinlay

@jfd2205 It is well defined in psychological terms as Schadenfreude in the context of group identity.

By contrast, being of high agency and willing to grind things out is a relatively rare trait.

Sam Altman warned us:

“Everyone thinks you can hire someone to do this."

"That fails 100% of the time."

A board of directors won't cut it.

The secret to building a generational company, according to him?

The founder doing this every day:

There are no shortages of those keen to cheerlead Bermuda's downfall yet so few willing to put in the work to bring about real change.

Tweeting something to keep account active.

I suspect AirBnb Experiences will be great for a small operator who runs tours part time but for those trying to make a full time business out of it will be another pay to play channel expecting preferential treatment at a hefty premium. 3/3

[21Square @21Square]

I fear that with partnerships like AirBnb experiences we're setting ourselves up to have our tourism product commoditized by foreign players who charge hefty commissions and leave providers struggling to survive. 1/3

[21Square @21Square]

We could be doing more to support our own channels and ensure tourist dollars stay in Bermuda but I fear we put too much priority on growth. 2/3

Shot across the bow for OBA's "we told you so" and doomsayer style of politics.

Might be time to start coming up with sustainable ideas or reasonable critiques of how we make Fintech work rather than making jokes about it.

.@NickKempeBDA hits the ground running today showing some of what's been missing from the opposition

The trouble of OBA's "kick the can down the road to buy time" approach wasn't really appealing to those who didn't inherit wealth.

Where are the ideas?

One of the local #Bermuda TV stations put together a great quick overview of block chain for their new business show.

I was also a guest on the show to talk about what block chain and fintech could mean for Bermuda.

[21Square @21Square]

It is dismaying that this Business Confidence survey doesn't have any data points for 2017 and I don't see an explanation why.

You only get half the story with missing data points and raises questions as to why it was paused.

That feeling when you were decried for warning that sabre rattling regarding independence will damage perceptions of political stability and reduce corporate confidence but people are surprised a year later that confidence is down.

I don't really get it. @jmathiasbda resigned seemingly in complaint of proper procedures not being followed, but participated in the swearing in ceremony?

The biggest challenge facing the OBA isn't its people or the color of them but its mentality.

It needs to connect with, empower and be the voice of the people to have any hope.

Selecting a new leader without at least involving party members is a sign that little has changed.

My latest article in my #Fintech column in @theroyalgazette covers why #blockchain is innovative and attempts to outline what its underlying value proposition is.

Curious to see the Binance CEO @cz_binance wearing what looks like a PLP landslide 24/12 shirt in Singapore while tweeting "And I am beginning to like green"

[Denis Pitcher @DenisPitcher]

I've recently been asked to write a regular Fintech column for the local Bermuda newspaper @TheRoyalGazette

My first piece looks to separate the hype from the underlying potential of blockchain and crypto.

Minister Caines "titty milk" comment illustrates the need for us to do more to educate men about appropriate behavior.

Too many of us are clueless or have been encouraged by movies and television that inappropriate behavior is acceptable.

[21Square @21Square]

What concerns me most about Minister Caines "titty milk" comment was that he couldn't distinguish the reputational risks of not just saying it, but posting it.

How well placed is he to weigh the reputational risks of potential blockchain/crypto scams?
